Xolo Omega 5.0 & 5.5: A Solid Entry-Level Selection

Wednesday, 17 December 2014




Since its beginning, Xolo has been trying to establish itself as a premium Indian Smartphone

product. While it hasn't tried attacking the absolute top-end of flagship devices, it has

determined on the lower mid-range where most of the action is. Xolo has so far done fairly

well, with a number of models that prioritised inspiring features such as gaming performance

and a custom Android UI.

These near-twins, the Xolo Omega 5.0 and the Omega 5.5 still promise some fairly impressive

specifications. The two have a lot in common, with the main differences being screen size,

camera resolution and battery capability. There's 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage space which

is normal for phones in this price range. Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 are standard. The rear

camera takes 8-megapixel stills and 1080p video, while the front camera is a 2-megapixel unit.

The 2,100mAh battery is also just about standard for this category.

Xolo's new push into this competitive space is likely to be met with a warm welcome. While this

phone isn't as polished as some of its competition in terms of outward appearances, it has

more than sufficient going for it to make that immaterial. The 5-inch screen is a good

compromise between size and portability, and for those who want more there's either the

Redmi Note or the Omega 5.5 and Redmi Note currently not available in India.
